For United States:

Cautions to the userThe changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment.

The equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B Digital Device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction, may cause harmful interference to radio communication. However, there is no guaranty that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

−Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. − Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. − Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. −Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.

These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of the electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to so.

CAUTION

VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READSangean suggest that you keep your AC Adapter at least 12 inches away from the radio while listening to the AM Band.

Your Sangean Radio is powered by an AC adapter which is a “switching” or “switch-mode” type. The DOE (Department Of Energy) has a Federal mandate; requiring all manufactures to use this type of power supply.

This newer power saving technology has the unfortunate side effect of causing interference to the AM radio band.

Therefore, we recommend that customers keep at least a 1 foot distance between the AC adapter and the radio. This interference will not affect the FM Band. If you have any questions please contact customer service at (888)726-4326, (562)941-9900 or [email protected]

If an AC adapter isn’t included in this model and if you wish to purchase an AC Adapter separately, please refer to the specifications for the AC Adapter stated on the final page of the manual, or please contact Sangean for the correct AC Adapter and specifications.

To learn more about the DOE mandate please visit: http://www1.eere.energy. gov/buildings/appliance_standards/product.aspx/productid/23

This system will automatically scan and preset the received stations in the order of signal strength,.i.e. the best reception station will be preset at Preset 1 and so on. APS function is only available in the HD Radio FM / AM bands.

The maximum number of presets is 20 each for HD Radio FM and AM band. If during APS operation more than 20 (HD Radio FM or AM) are found only 20 strongest stations will be stored in the preset memories.

All previously stored preset stations will be erased when APS operation commences and HD Stations are found.

To recall the preset station, press the Preset button and then press Tuning up / down button to select the required preset number. Press the Select button to recall the memory station.
